Force Between Conductors Demonstrator
Model Number: MTME-42
The Force Between Conductors Demonstrator provides a clear visual method for investigating the magnetic force between two parallel current-carrying conductors. Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with a cylindrical base, dedicated power supply, transparent rectangular frame, two parallel heavy-duty metal tubes, movable metal arrows, push-button current control, and connecting leads. The direction of current through each conductor can be selected independently, allowing users to observe attraction when currents flow in the same direction and repulsion when they flow in opposite directions.
Product Specification
The Force Between Conductors Demonstrator is designed to provide an easily observable demonstration of the electromagnetic interaction between two parallel conductors carrying electric current.
The apparatus consists of a cylindrical base containing a dedicated power supply, which supports a transparent rectangular frame. Inside the frame are two parallel heavy-duty metal tubes that serve as the current-carrying conductors.
A key feature of the apparatus is the ability to select the direction of current in the two conductors independently. This allows two fundamental configurations to be demonstrated using the same apparatus.
When current flows through both parallel conductors in the same direction, the magnetic fields generated around the conductors interact and produce an attractive force. The conductors therefore move toward each other.
When the currents flow in opposite directions, the electromagnetic interaction produces a repulsive force, causing the conductors to move apart.
Micro Technologies provides a push-button arrangement that applies a large current at low voltage to the tubes, making the electromagnetic force sufficiently observable during the demonstration.
Movable metal arrows are fitted to the frame to provide a clear visual indication of the selected current directions. This helps correlate the direction of current flow with the resulting attraction or repulsion.
The apparatus provides a direct demonstration that a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field and that the interaction between the fields of nearby conductors generates a mechanical force.
Its transparent frame allows the conductor movement to remain clearly visible while keeping the experimental arrangement organized and supported.
The Force Between Conductors Demonstrator is therefore suitable for investigations involving parallel currents, electromagnetic force, magnetic-field interaction, attraction and repulsion, and Ampere force between conductors.

FAQs
What is the Force Between Conductors Demonstrator used for?
It is used to demonstrate the magnetic force that develops between two parallel conductors when electric current flows through them.
How many conductors are provided?
The apparatus incorporates two parallel heavy-duty metal tubes that act as current-carrying conductors.
What happens when current flows in the same direction?
When current flows through both conductors in the same direction, an attractive electromagnetic force develops and the conductors move toward each other.
What happens when current flows in opposite directions?
When the currents flow in opposite directions, a repulsive electromagnetic force develops and the conductors move apart.
Can the direction of current be changed?
Yes. The current direction in the conductors can be selected to demonstrate both attraction and repulsion.
What are the movable metal arrows used for?
The arrows indicate the direction of current through the conductors, making it easier to relate current direction to the observed force.
Why is a large current used?
A relatively large current produces a stronger magnetic field around each conductor, making the resulting mechanical attraction or repulsion easier to observe.
Why does the apparatus operate at low voltage?
The apparatus is designed to provide the relatively high current needed for the demonstration using an appropriate low-voltage supply arrangement.
Is a power supply provided?
Yes. The source configuration specifies a dedicated power supply incorporated within the cylindrical base.
Are connecting leads supplied?
Yes. Suitable connecting leads are included with the apparatus.
What principle does the apparatus demonstrate?
It demonstrates the electromagnetic force between parallel current-carrying conductors, often associated with Ampere force.
Can Force Between Conductors Demonstrators be supplied in bulk?
Yes. Micro Technologies can supply these apparatus in bulk for laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, scientific equipment distributors, and institutional procurement.
